3 FAQs about Lead-acid battery construction for Australian communication base stations

Why are lead-acid batteries used in saps?

Lead-acid batteries can be found in SAPS due to their cost effectiveness and long-standing availability. To form usable power, multiple batteries are connected in series, parallel, or a combination of both, to form Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The BESS is connected to Power Conversion Equipment (PCE) to form usable electricity.

Are lead-acid batteries corrosive?

Not only are lead-acid batteries a source of ignition, the acids used to produce the electrolyte are also very corrosive. Consideration needs to be given to any hydrogen gas that a battery bank may emit, whether the cells are vented or sealed.

What should be considered before installing a lead-acid Bess?

Ventilation (natural or forced), maintenance schedules, battery performance testing, the proximity and location of other electrical equipment or sources of ignition and access to water and eye irrigation stations need to be considered, before installation of a lead-acid BESS takes place.
